Spectacular location, unique property.
Loved this property, in an exceptional location. Would have preferred window dressings in the bedroom’s and a Nespresso machine would be a very welcome addition to the kitchen. Overall an amazing place, so quiet with stunning views out of every window. Would highly recommend staying at The Bivvy House.
